Pilon, a graduate of Davidson College, won the most money, making her the official winner, but in reality nobody lost — contestants get to keep the money they win.

Torpey — whom viewers might recognize from his role as a corrections officer in the Netflix smash-hit Orange is the New Black — has said he was inspired to do the TV show when booked an underwear commercial to help him and his wife pay off student loan debt.

“We helped four people pay off their student debt today, but there are 45 million Americans out there struggling with their student loans. Doesn’t have to be this way. Call your representatives right now and tell them we need a better solution than this game show. I’m Michael Torpey. I’ll see you next time on Paid Off.”

Torpey said people have been contacting him, asking to be on the show, but he said the first season has already been shot. The show airs every Wednesday at 10 p.m.

Thanks to everyone asking to be part of #PaidOff Unfortunately we are all done shooting the first season. If you enjoy the show, tell @truTV to order more episodes. Then we'll be able to help more folks with their student loans. I hope you enjoy tonight's premiere! - Michael
